Four teens reportedly break into Des Moines school to steal food

Four Roosevelt High School students were charged with a theft at early Saturday morning a Des Moines elementary school.

Officers responded to a tripped alarm around 2:30 a.m. Saturday at Perkins Elementary School, 4301 College Ave., and found four juveniles running through the playground toward a fence. All four were caught by officers.

Alex Richard Arndoifer and Isaiah Scott, both 15 and from Des Moines, were charged with third-degree burglary and interference with official acts. Gina Nicole Patrick, 17, and Erin Nicole Marie Cloke, 15, both from Des Moines, were charged with interference with official acts and public intoxication.

The group used a student identification card to break in the lock on the northwest gym door. Arndoifer and Scott allegedly entered the building and took chocolate milk, Trix cereal and a five-pound bag of M & Ms.

The boys were processed at the Polk County Jail before being released to the parents. The girls were released to their parents after the incident.
